Sherwood odds-on to be next Premier League boss sacked

Spurs boss Tim Sherwood is odds-on with leading bookmakers to become the next Premier League manager to lose his job.

Sunday's 4-0 reverse at the hands of Liverpool at Anfield saw the price of the Tottenham boss shorten, with some bookmakers offering prices as short as 1/3 that the St. Albans-born head coach would be the next top-flight boss to lose his job.

That defeat leaves Spurs sixth in the Premier League, eight points and two places behind rivals Arsenal in the race to secure Champions League football for next season.

Since replacing the sacked Andre Villas-Boas in December, Sherwood has won ten of his 22 games, losing a further nine.
